There are 2 pre-courses and 2 evaluations scheduled. Please inform me which events you plan on attending by 12/31/00. I recommend that you attend all of the pre-courses that you can, however it's not a requirement that you attend a pre-course in order to attend an evaluation. If you change your mind and would like to attend an additional pre-course or can't attend one that you've signed up for, no problem, but please let me know. The reason I need this data is to make sure I have enough staff members to help and to organize the groups before the event.

For those of you who did not attend an event last year, feel free to use one of the pre-courses as continuing education. Attending a pre-course is a great way to improve your skills and have fun doing it. Please pass the word around that the pre-courses are open for any patroller (Basic or Senior). If you know of patrollers who would like to attend just for the practice please have a discussion with them and have them contact me.

Please print and fill out the form shown below and mail it back to me by 12/31/00 or you can e-mail me the information at johnthom@US.IBM.COM.

Thank you and I hope to see you on the slopes.
